Esther $14 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable and attentive pet and house sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and administering basic medications. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while keeping their normal routines. I also take great care of homes by bringing in mail, watering plants, light cleaning, and ensuring everything stays secure and well maintained while you’re away.

Mia $14 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mia and I am a first year student at Kent State University! I am majoring in biology and pursuing a minor in forensic anthropology. I have a high school diploma and graduated with a 4.2 GPA. I offer babysitting, pet sitting (dogs and cats), and housesitting! I can cook and do general cleaning tasks, and I can help with homework for elementary and middle school-aged children. Experience: For pet sitting, I have two cats myself and volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple of months. For babysitting, I have three baby cousins all under the age of 5 that I watched grow up and helped take care of when my aunt and uncle wanted a break. I worked at an amusement park for three years so I am used to talking to children and keeping them occupied.

Sara $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sara and I am currently a student at Kent State University for my bachelors in nursing. I am offering housesitting, cleaning, running errands, and caring/watching pets and children. I personally enjoy babysitting because I love kids or knowing that I can care for them and it is something rewarding for me. I have been watching over my families and friends kids since I was 13. I have most experience between the ages 3-10. This includes babysitting, overnights, or driving them to school and practices when needed. I also offer pet sitting services. I grew up always having at least 3 pets or watching others pets including dogs, fish, cats, bunnies, and ferrets. Thank you!

Christian $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Christian but I also go by Azariah. I am currently studying at KSU, and am looking for a side gig to allow me to still work as I go to school. I am currently offering services for kids, pets, and household. As the oldest of a huge family, I have been helping to take care of kids since I could talk. I have also had professional experience as a baby sitter since the age of 13. I have handled kids with disabilities as well as adults. I have a cat of my own so I am well versed with taking care of animals. I am a very hands on person so I try to help kids with learning as well as school work. I am also a big foodie and love to cook, the more people the better. I do have a driver's license as well so I can run errands and the like. I can bring trusted to clean up any messes whether it be mine or someone else's.
